Approaches To The Land, Joseph Linscott
Approaches To The Land, Joseph Linscott
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Approaches to the Land is a collection of interrelated stories centered on a small Maine mill town. These stories have several recurrent narrators who are in many phases of moving – some come while others leave, etc. These stories have an immense interest in the identification of loss and hope, and this in turn plays heavily on the identities of the characters embodying the stories. As a whole, these stories capture the only way this author knew how to document his hometown.

Dice Hearts And Other Islands, Bailey O'Brien
Honors College
This collection of fiction, cumulatively Dice Hearts and Other Islands, explores both the isolation of islands and the connections that can be made between them. While these islands can be the physical landmasses of the sea, in this collection islands also refer to the isolated selves of the characters. Inspired by Elizabeth Strout’s narrative style in her novel Olive Kitteridge, the short stories in this collection similarly unveil the two main characters through stories bridged with connections. The latter half of this collection, a play and a monologue, are influenced by the playwright John Cariani. As are the …
Fishers Of Men, Matthew Tieszen
Fishers Of Men, Matthew Tieszen
Honors College
In writing Fishers of Men, I have had several goals, the first of which is to explore what it means to be human through the experiences of super-humans and supernatural creatures. Secondly, I want to create a world that is recognizable and believable as Earth despite the influence of the supernatural. Finally, I want to represent the presence of the poetic in the everyday.
Fishers of Men takes place in near-future New York City. Ravaged by a severe hurricane, much of the city is in ruins. The Bronx has been hit hardest out of the still-habitable portions of the city, …

The Space Explorer, Rachel A. Carter
The Space Explorer, Rachel A. Carter
Honors College
An anthology of short stories, poems, prose, and imitations. These writings explore the idea of space, but not in the “final frontier” connotation. The concept of space presented is that of personal and mental; writings that emerge from revealing internal thoughts and feelings. In addition, The Space Explorer builds upon individual aspects to contemplate more general topics.
Such writings will include: imitations of Italo Calvino’s Invisibile Cities; a short story about a man so desperate to keep his farm from bankruptcy he decides to traffic drugs; short glimpses of thoughts in the form of haiku; and many more.
